The matter was brought into the spotlight by two female couples in Arkansas after both became pregnant through anonymous sperm donors and only the woman who gave birth to the child was listed on the newborn's birth certificate. Meanwhile, for opposite-sex couples in Arkansas, the husband's name was always listed on birth certificates, even if there wasn't a biological connection — and yes, even when a sperm donor was involved. In Pavan v. Smith, the Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that same-sex parents are now to both be listed on birth certificates. All we have to say is it's about damn time.
